My goal and passion for working at the intersection of Hypersonics and Numerical Techniques stemmed from my sophomore and senior year courses on High-Speed Aerothermodynamics, Advanced Propulsion Systems and Alternate-fuels.

I am particularly motivated to understand the aerothermodynamics of high-speed ionized flows and plasma-assisted hypersonic combustion and to do so with a critical lens on how swift, sustainable and economical could they be made.

My curiosity to leverage multidisciplinary approaches towards engineering made me explore diverse fields like Composites, Virtual reality, Machine Learning, Biomed in addition to my prime research inclination towards Hypersonic Propulsion
